You’re going to love this healthy air fryer dessert recipe –> Air Fryer Banana Split – chunky monkey style!

Two bananas with peanut butter and nuts on a plate.

The other day I had my air fryer out for a different recipe (our air fryer salmon bites) and decided to whip up a viral recipe I saw on Instagram. I love peanut butter and banana, so slicing it up and air frying it with chocolate was a no-brainer. Turns out, my 1-year-old loved it too!

A quick rundown: All you have to do is slice a banana and stuff it with peanut butter and chocolate chips. Wrap it in a piece of tin foil and air fry at 400ºF for 6 minutes. Then, top with chopped peanuts and sea salt!
